Jung on Feminine

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” -Carl Jung

I’ve been listening to Carl Jung videos on YouTube to explore his idea of femininity. He theorized the Anima and Animus. He says the Anima is the divine feminine in a man, and the Animus is the masculine in a woman. It’s interesting to see things that way. Some people allow their inner opposite to take the lead because they don’t feel safe.

Women often have to lead from their Animus to survive in the workforce, but my hope is that things are shifting. My hope is that women continue to excel and open more women-centered businesses, places where women can thrive as women.

I’m over here trying to figure it out myself, how to lead with all my femininity in tow. What does a workplace even look like that welcomes my femininity?

When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
